In simple and concise language this tale tells the story of how one guinea pig saves the dandelion from . In the process very young children (under five years old) learn about plant growth, agriculture and the danger of extinction through over- consumption. Those are heavy duty issues to put on the plate of a three to five year old. Is it necessary to start that young? How about first getting into the miracle of the seed metamorphosing into a beautiful flower or food you can eat. If the author is aiming at slightly older 6- 8 years old) kids then the language needs to address those kids and be less patronizing.
The illustrations supported the text very well
